Your name is?
Donny Stevens
Where are you from?
Born in Ohio. Grew up in Bend, Oregon
What is your major, and what inspired you to choose it?
Graphic Design. Started out with intentions of pursuing something in journalism, took and internship at a magazine. Ended up hanging in the art department most of the time and became engrossed in the process of putting together a magazine from scratch. Moved back up to Oregon and started taking classes in design.
How do you spend your time outside of school?
snowboarding, surfing, skateboarding, shooting photos, camping, building things.
What are you interested in besides (or in relation to) graphic design?
Scandinavian design, Industrial/product Design, Architecture, fashion, photography.
Is there a certain kind of design work that you’d like to make?
As time goes on I find myself more interested in a hands on approach to design opposed to graphics. Although, I still am very interested in the layout direction - especially organizing shoots from the concept to the finished piece.
Favorite books?
Ayn Rand - The Fountainhead. I also am in the middle of the Steve Jobs book which is pretty interesting.
Favorite designers or artists?
Arne Jacobsen, Alvar Aalto, huge fan of what HeyDays an Oslo based studio is doing, my good friend John Antoski, and my Dad.
How do you get to school everyday?
Depends on the day. Bus, bike, walk, drive.
Do you have any cool/weird/unexpected skills?
Yes.
What is the most exciting place you’ve traveled to?
I was fortunate enough to live/study in Copenhagen for 4 months. Did a lot of traveling while I was over there.
Where can we find you online?
Most of my stuff goes on my tumblr. donnystevens.tumblr.com
